PETITION
FOR

NOW
COMES
the
Respondent,
GEORGE
R.
FORD,
by
and
through
his
attorneys,
FROEHLING, WEBER,
EVANS
&
SCHELL,
LLP
and
in
response
to
the
Administrative
Citation
filed
against
him,
hereby
files
this
Petition
for
Review
and
states
as
follows:
JURISDICTION
Respondent
admits
to
the
jurisdiction
of
Illinois
Environmental
Protection
Agency.
FACTS
1.
Respondent
admits
he
is
the
present
owner of
property
located
at
the
SE
Quarter
Section
Number
Thirty-two
(3)
in
Township
Seven (7)
North
of
the
Base
Line,
Range
Two
(2)
East
of
the
Fourth Principal
Meridian,
in
the
Town
of
Deerfield,
Fulton
County, Illinois.
Respondent
denies
he
is
the
operator
of
a
facility
at
that
location.
2.
Respondent
denies
that
said
property
is
a
facility
operating
as
an
open
dump
without
an
Illinois Environmental
Protection
Agency Permit.
3.
Respondent
admits he
has
owned said
property
at
all
time
pertinent
hereto,
but
denies
operating
a
facility
as
alleged.
4.
Respondent
does
not
have
sufficient
knowledge
to
form
a belief
as
to
the
truth
of
the
allegation
that
on
July 9, 2008,
Robert
J.
Wagner
of
the
Illinois
Environmental
Protection
Agency’s
Peoria Regional
Office
inspected
the
property
and,
therefore,
denies
each
and
every
allegation
of paragraph
4
VIOLATIONS
(1)
Respondent
denies
that
he
caused
or
allowed
the
open
dumping
of
waste
in
a
manner
resulting
in
litter,
an
alleged
violation
of
415
[LCS
5/2l(p)(l),
said
material
was
deposited
or
dumped
upon
the
Respondent’s
property.
Respondent
was
without
resources
to
quickly
and
adequately
remediate
such
dumping.
Respondent
further
states
that
he
did
not
intend
to
cause or
allow
dumping
upon
his
property,
nor
did
he
intend
to
operate
a
facility.
(2)
Respondent
admits
that
he
caused
open
burning
of
some
of
the
material
deposited
upon
his
property,
an
alleged
violation
of
415
ILCS
S/2J(p)(3),
in
an
attempt
to
remediate
the
situation.
(3)
Respondent
denies
that he
caused
or
allowed
the
open
dumping
of
waste
in
manner
resulting
in
Deposition
of General
Construction
or
Demolition
Debris
or
Clean Construction
or
Demolition
Debris,
an
alleged
violation
of
415
ILCS
5/2l(p)(7).
Respondent
further
states
that
he
did
not
intend
to
cause
or
allow
dumping
upon
his
property,
nor
did
he
intend
to
operate
a
facility.
Further, Respondent
states
that
since
the
Illinois
EPA
investigation
of
the
Respondent’s
property,
Respondent
has
endeavored
to
remediate
the
alleged
violations
by
removal
of
all
refuse.
Copies of
dumping
invoices
(Exhibit
A)
are
attached
hereto
and
made
a
part
hereof
by
reference.
2
Wherefore,
the
Respondent,
George
R. Ford,
respectfully
requests
the
civil
penalty
sought
be
dismissed,
or
alternatively,
be
reduced
and
for
other
such
relief
this
Board
deems
equitable
and just.

Submitted,
